Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
Pretty sure I'm shadowbanned because I'm over there railing on those CCP husks all the time and they almost never respond.
I’ve got them and all the other after school instances blocked.
so .ml and .world?
No, .ml, Hexdouche, and Lemmynad. A few others, but they’re irrelevant enough to not warrant being mentioned by name.
Wait what's wrong with world? .ml and .hexbear are insufferable but in my experience world has been fine?
World is basically Reddit at this point, it's where most of the big Reddit subs set up a Lemmy community, and is more or less the default option for someone setting up a Lemmy account for the first time.
World hasthemost users so people don't like it. That's all I've really got out of anyone.
And that's how I wound up banned from hexbear.
I'm self banning myself. I've started blocking any of their crap that comes up in my feed. Good riddance.
Why not block the whole instance?
They did you a favor.
.ml is the same way. People were getting deleted left and right for posting about Maduro fixing the election in Venezuela. Not realizing it's freaking .ml. Even when told, "the mods are just enforcing the instance rules" they didn't get it.
There’s a few mods that bans people just for being liberal there. What fucking clowns man. Then their little minions come to .world and whine about how they’re treated unfairly when they troll.
